Time goes back to half an hour ago.
On the Dazhong Bridge next to Dongshuiguan Pier, suddenly there were several officials wearing court uniforms, beam crowns, and ribbons, holding wat tablets and memorials in their hands, showing their undisguised posture in front of the attention of those good people. Calmly walk from the direction of Zhongcheng, onto Dazhong Bridge, and go to the yamen of various ministries in Dongcheng.
The imperial robes and crowns worn by officials today are only used during national ceremonies, celebrations, Zhengdan, winter solstice, holy festivals, issuance of edicts, opening readings, entering tables, and transmitting systems.
And as the first batch of officials crossed the Dazhong Bridge towards the East City, more and more officials with different colors and accessories gathered from all over the city to the bridge, and followed the people in front across the Dazhong Bridge. .
Then, these officials did not enter the imperial city via West Chang'an Street. Instead, they walked along Chongli Street to behind the Zhengyang Gate.
Except for the palace, the rest of Yingtian City is closed to ordinary people.
People who had good things to do came to Chongli Street near Zhengyang Gate at the end of the year.
Finally, it was discovered that the solemnly dressed court officials were kneeling in front of the Hongwu Gate holding wat tablets and memorials.
Kneel down and force the palace again?
The onlookers began to whisper, but the common people looked at the officials holding the memorials and thought that this might be the officials who came to the Hongwu Gate to present memorials of apology to His Majesty the Emperor.
A third-rank Beijing official wearing a five-beam crown on his head, a gold belt around his waist and jade, woven with yellow, green, red and purple clouds, cranes and flower brocade ribbons, and a green silk net underneath, accompanied by a pair of gold ribbon rings, holding a wat board, Memorial kneeled down at the front of Hongwu Gate.
"I have been blessed by His Majesty's grace and have served as an official for more than ten years. I have been richly supported by honors and salary. However, I am stupid and incompetent. I have occupied the magpie's nest and have done nothing for more than ten years. I have done nothing for the country, the country, and the people of the world. I have not been able to comfort the people of the world. In spite of Your Majesty's grace, I There is no report. I have the courage to report today and beg for the bones, asking for your majesty’s permission.”
A third-ranking official from the capital loudly spoke of begging for bones in front of the Hongwu Gate. In an instant, the people watching on Chongli Street were in an uproar.
Looking at the whole world, officials who can reach the third-level position calmly can be regarded as the best among people. If we go one step further, it will naturally be the few senior members of the ministry. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are both generals and ministers.
But today, such a big shot said something about begging for bones in such a calm manner.
On Chongli Street, people were discussing heatedly.
"That man is wearing a five-beam crown? This is something only third-grade officials can use!"
"Third rank, if your majesty can reward me with a low-ranking ninth-rank official, I will feel like there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave."
"Do you think these people behind are also here to beg for bones?"
"That's not the case..."
"Why not? I think it must be the case."
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
There are even some good people who have already begun to nod their heads and count how many officials wearing court uniforms and Liang Guan came to the Hongwu Gate today.
"If this is true, we won't be able to see many officials in Yingtian City for a long time."
"Look, isn't that the prefect of Yingtian Mansion?"
"And there are people over there. Those two are not the magistrates of Shangyuan County and Jiangning County."
"What on earth happened to make so many people unwilling to become officials?"
"Even if they did something wrong, these people probably don't want to lose their hats. Could it be..."
"You'd better not do it."
"But if it weren't for His Majesty's persecution, what else could be the reason for this scene?"
"..."
After experiencing the initial shock and surprise, the people watching on Chongli Street had already thought of countless possibilities.
And because the officials once again made a fuss about what happened before kneeling quietly at the palace gate, the officers and soldiers of the Army and Horse Division who came late to inquire, finally surrounded the Hongwu Gate with scoldings.
In front of Hongwu Gate.
As the first person opened his mouth to beg for bones.
It was like a spark, igniting everyone.
"I am here to beg for the bones. Please give me your majesty's permission."
The officials shouted in unison three times as if they had rehearsed beforehand.
Even the majestic Hongwumen gate tower, the first gate of the imperial city, seemed to tremble under the chorus of hundreds of officials.
In the Thousand Steps Corridor behind Hongwu Gate, a burst of dense footsteps led to formations of iron armor. Countless imperial city imperial guards, led by small flag officers, chief flag officers, and hundreds of household officers, poured out from the city gates on both sides and lined up. Under the Hongwu sect.
When the time came, the officials who were still on duty in the six and five military governor's offices and the yamen of various ministries on the east and west sides of Hongwu Gate had already gotten wind of the news. They walked out of the yamen one after another and came to Hongwu Gate to watch the begging. A good show of bones.
It is located in the Libu Yamen on the east side of Hongwu Gate and next to the Zongren Mansion in the north.
The clerk rushed in from outside the Yamen in a panic, and went all the way to the Shangshu court.
Since he fainted once in front of the Meridian Gate, Zhai Shan, who can be called a young official among the officials, has been looking very bad recently, looking sickly and looking like he may collapse at any time. .
At this time, Zhai Shan was looking through the list of Guanzheng Jinshi above the court, as well as the list of officials who had not participated in the silent kneeling at the Meridian Gate.
The imperial court cannot really stop. Thousands of things will happen every day in the world. All the things will be brought together and eventually be sent to Yingtian City.
Officials can resign, but the people of the world still have to make a living.
Since the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system was established in the former Tang Dynasty, the official department has been the largest yamen in the world. The bigger the yamen, the greater the responsibility.
Officials govern the world, and officials govern the world's officials.
The imperial court has been experiencing constant vacancies of officials over the years, and with the recent incident in front of the Meridian Gate, Zhai Shan knew very well that many people here might have been on one of His Majesty's lists.
To govern the world for the emperor, all officials need to be thought of in advance.
Zhai Shan, who had already collapsed in front of the Meridian Gate, has become older and more haggard because of these things in the past few days.
The clerk hurriedly walked into the court and arrived in front of Zhai Shan.
Before Zhai Shan could even raise his head, the clerk was already swallowing his saliva and said urgently: "The Ministry...the Ministry, those officials...the officials, they are kneeling quietly in front of the Hongwu Gate again."
Zhai Shan, who was sorting out the list of officials with a pen, couldn't help shaking his palm after hearing this. The belly of the pen pressed against the paper, causing a large black ink stain.
"What are they going to do again!"
Zhai Shan roared with a hoarse voice, and his eyes were filled with anger in just a moment.
The clerk shrank his head, lowered his head and said: "They...the department..."
Peng!
Zhai Shan slapped his palms heavily on the table and said angrily: "You are hemming and hawing, please speak clearly!"
The clerk shook, shook his hands and robe heavily, knelt on the ground, and said in horror: "Ministry, they are begging for bones! Hundreds of officials, wearing court uniforms and crowns, holding wat tablets and memorials, knelt at the Hongwu Gate Go forward and beg for the bones from Your Majesty!"
After finishing speaking, the clerk buried his head deeply, his body hidden under his robe trembling slightly.
There was silence in the courtroom.
Several scribes sitting in the corner had already put down the ink pens in their hands, holding their hands, bowing their heads and sitting in silence in the corner.
In the official meeting, Zhai Shan let out several heavy breaths, and an angry atmosphere filled the entire courtroom.
However, everyone in the court did not wait for the elder's anger and filial piety.
Under a heavy clanking sound, Zhai Shan, who was sitting upright on the chair, suddenly opened his arms, opened his mouth and rolled his eyes. The chair seemed to have broken legs, and the whole chair fell heavily to the ground with Zhai Shanren.
"Budo!"
A scribe suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
Immediately, everyone stepped forward one after another.
However, Zhai Shan just closed his eyes tightly, fell to the ground without a trace of blood on his face, and fainted again.
"Quick! Go to Tai Hospital and ask for the envoy from Shuiyuan to come over!"
The clerk roared angrily, and the clerk who came to the court to report shivered all over, got up from the ground in panic, and rushed out of the court.
The imperial official's minister fainted for the second time in just a few days, and the remaining officials in the entire official yamen were completely panicked.
In the Hubu Yamen separated by a wall, Yu Xinzheng, the Hubu Shangshu, and Wang Jun, the Gongbu Shangshu, were sitting opposite each other. There was no one around them, only a pot of tea in the middle.
"They began to kneel quietly outside Hongwu Gate and beg for the bones."
The speaker was Wang Jun, Minister of Industry.
Wang Jun came to the Hubu Department from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry was just east of Hongwu Gate.
Yu Xin picked up the teapot, added a cup of tea for Wang Jun, and said, "Zhai Shan is probably getting angry again, and his mouth is full of heat."
Wang Jun drank the tea and chuckled: "That person from the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything this time."
Yu Xin smiled in agreement, lowered his head and shook it, blowing the tea cup in his hand, but did not drink it, but hung it in the air and said: "Your Majesty is watching the wind direction, the prince is sitting firmly in the East Palace, the crown prince, the grandson Where are you today?”
"Watching the football game at the martial arts hall."
"Oh? Which two teams are playing today?" Yu Xin couldn't help but show curiosity on his face, seeming to be very interested in today's game.
Wang Jun snorted and said, "I'll fight with the people from the Imperial Guards and the Rear Army Governor's Mansion."
At this time, a clerk from the household department came outside the house with the sound of footsteps and knocked lightly on the door frame.
After Yu Xin gave his permission, the clerk came in.
"Bu Tang, today the results of the Wusheng rugby match between the Imperial Military Guard and the Houjun Governor's Office in the Martial Arts Hall were announced."
Yu Xin finally brought the tea cup in his hand to his mouth.
Wang Jun looked suspicious, glanced at Yu Xin who had a smile on his lips, then looked at the clerk, and said, "What's the result?"
The junior official nodded and said, "Go back to the King's Hall. Today, the military guards of Shangzhi personally won."
Yu Xin, who was still drinking tea with a smile on his face, suddenly lost his smile.
Wang Junyi's face was stunned for a moment: "If I remember correctly, in the past two years, the direct military guards have fought against the rear army governor's mansion, and they have never won."
Yu Xin paused for a while and then nodded.
Then he stood up and looked at Wang Jun who looked confused: "Go to Hongwumen and have a look."
Yu Xin had already stood up and walked outside.
But he kept mumbling: "Why did Kaminao Chijunwei win? How did he win?"
…
"How did you win?"
Outside the martial arts hall, on the rugby field, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshuang, who defeated the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, kept mumbling.
On the side, Bo Sangjing, the Huixian who suppressed the direct army Wei Sheng, had a smile on his face.
And as the person who single-handedly created today's gambling situation, he has now been targeted by the group of meritorious generals who suppressed the rear army's governor's mansion.
Zhu Shou was numb at this time. He spent three months in the martial arts hall giving lectures to the martial arts students, which would cost him his life.
"Have you eaten anything recently, the Imperial Guards? You can actually defeat the Imperial Guardsman's Mansion."
At this time, Zhu Shou had already foreseen the crazy time of the next three months, and he was chattering endlessly.
Chang Sen coughed lightly and looked back at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi smiled softly and said: "Gu Ke has told you that this rugby match was organized by Gu Ke."
When he said this, Zhu Yunxi turned his head faintly and glanced at Wang Xinling, the governor of the General Affairs Department, who was still waiting for him to speak to the officials who were kneeling quietly in Hongwumen to beg for the bones.
Wang Xinling was really anxious at this time.
It can be said that the Hongwu Gate is full of civil servants begging for their corpses, but the emperor's grandson is still talking about the football match with the meritorious generals.
And when Zhu Yunxi mentioned this sentence again, everyone present, whether they were the governor of the rear army or the direct military guards, looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing at the top with hesitation, and everyone's hearts flashed. After a while, I realized it later.
No, the outcome of today’s game must have been decided by the Emperor Taisun.
Zhu Shou coughed repeatedly.
Zhu Yunxi waved his robes, his face was solemn and his eyes were deep for a moment: "You are all Gu's uncles, and you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Since you uncles also have something to say today, they will definitely live up to my family, so I can speak freely. ”
All the points come together at the last moment.
If everyone can't react at this time, they are no longer worthy of standing here.
Led by Chang Sen, everyone clasped their hands and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please give me your order."
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but breathe heavier.
He knew very well that when he spoke the next words to the Ming Dynasty's meritorious military generals present, it showed that Ming Dynasty had finally reached a real turning point under his own hand.
History was truly changed by him.
The young governor wanted to escape from here. As Bai Yuxiu's successor, Wang Xinling was considered outstanding among all the disciples of Xinxue.
The emperor's grandson has to make a decision on the national policy.
Wang Xinling was very afraid that as the first civil servant in the Manchu Dynasty to hear the news, he would be frightened and confused by the words that had not yet been spoken.
However, the young governor had no chance to escape.
Zhu Yunxi also spoke in a deep voice: "In the 28th year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now in the third year, the country has opened up two new areas for new conquests, and the Japanese-suppressing army has imported millions of people every year.
The founder of the country, General Chang, was fighting abroad, and the soldiers from nine sides were marching north to Liting. The country became stronger and stronger day by day. They were both stronger outside and richer inside. These merits were all created by meritorious men of the country.
The Ming Dynasty will last for ten thousand years, it will have a foundation of ten thousand generations, and it will still be the most powerful country in the world after ten thousand years. I think about it all alone, but I cannot do without your uncles and my descendants fighting for the country and fighting bloody battles with the enemy. "
Zhu Yunxi said it very movingly.
It was also the first public recognition of the achievements of Ming Dynasty's meritorious generals.
"It is my great honor that I can serve the country."
Zhu Yunxi raised his voice and said: "I want to resume the former Qin army's meritorious service."
